| Summary: | "This is a book about secrets and the telling of secrets, it is about lies and the telling of lies. It is about codes that bind some people to keep others' secrets, and conventions that require some people to tell lies about others. And it is about the breaking of these codes and the violation of these conventions ... It is also about the conflicting loyalties of journalists ... It is about the shifting boundaries between the public and private realms."--Preface. |
